KABOOM MFR!

I didn’t get the rest but take solace in knowing how her story ends.

Wow, for some reasons my brain had locked that guy in as Jeff Daniels.

I don’t use HA so this is confusing me. If the software works for your home setup, why update at all ever? What do you as a user get other than the opportunity to see new ads on the thermostat screen or whatever?

You see, in this world there are 2 kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You… dig.

They’re definitely all about the communism too. I answered a post asking for any surviving examples of communism with “I think Cuba counts” and got banned Rule 1 IIRC.

Yet tastes like chicken.

According to the Wiki the latest release is 3 months old. It is still in use, but doesn’t look to be for the average consumer.

There’s no irony there. There’s a difference between curating your own experience and others forcing censorship on you.

Is this just the way of the world or something to avoid?

IMO it is both, but I am more concerned about privacy than most seem to be.

At a very basic level I’ll boil it down to this:

90% of all the companies you have or will deal with (especially your employers), your (and enemy) governments, the police, and even society (you can get away with a lot of BS in a fancy suit unless people discover you’re broke AF for example) all find your personal information extremely valuable. So much so that there are obvious dollar signs attached to this meaning. Do you in general really want to give this away for free or very underpriced?

That is just the universal concern over personal privacy. Now, consider the situation of anyone that wants or needs to keep things private for any reason (legitimate or otherwise). Reveal anything of this sort and their life could be in danger (ie: being gay or trans in some Radical Islamic country, pro-Ukraine in russia, etc…). In a world where data collecting is so pervasive and invasive that companies know your daughter is pregnant before you do, and the information obtained is available to ANYONE able to pay, this is terrifying.

Exactly because it is so pervasive and invasive is why I get your frustration. This really needs to be a much greater political issue but this is discouraged because the government wants your data too.
